Template documentation

This documentation is Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination transcluded from Template:No ping/doc. (Edit | history)
Note to editors: Please don't categorize this template by editing it directly. Instead, place the category in its documentation page, in its "includeonly" section.

Purpose

This template links to a Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination user page, or to multiple user pages, without triggering the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination notification system. It is not necessary to use this template if you are not Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination signing your post, as Notifications mentions only work with a signature included.

Usage

Basic usage:

{{no ping|username 1|username 2|...}}

By default, usernames are displayed, but this can be overridden with the |labeln = parameters.

{{no ping|username 1|label1=label 1|username 2|label2=label 2|...}}

Examples

• {{no ping|Example|Example2}} → Template:Plainlinks and Template:Plainlinks
• {{no ping|Example|label1=User 1|Example2|label2=User 2}} → Template:Plainlinks and Template:Plainlinks

Consequences

The template avoids notifications by making external links with code like <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Username username]</span> instead of wikilinks like [[User:Username|Username]]. An external link icon is avoided with plainlinks but there are other consequences of not using a wikilink. The link will not be Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination red for non-existing user pages, the blue link will have a lighter Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination color than usual for most readers, and the page the template is used on will not appear at Special:WhatLinksHere for the user page. The link is recognized by Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Navigational Popups, which handles it the way it would handle other links.
